The 90° reflex viewfinder is equipped with a shoe mount for an external flash unit 1. Please note that this shoe mount is only mechanical, therefore the flash device also has to be connected to the x-contact at the camera body, Æ chapter 12 “Use of the Flash”. The mechanical shoe mount and the x-contact do not support TTL-flash measurement, and therefore are intended for automatic flash units or manual flash operation.

If you would like to use a TTL-flash device, please use the shoe mount at the camera body, Æ chapter 5.7 “Connection of a flash device” and Æ chapter 13 “Use of the flash”.

The 90° reflex viewfinder is also equipped with a dioptre adjustment wheel. Please turn the adjustment wheel 2 at the eyepiece.
